From WaPo Monica Hesse
From WaPo Monica Hesse …Americans, barely paid attention to current politics and remembered Donald Trump only as the aspirational 2004 guy, you could be forgiven in 2016 for thinking, eh, seems legit. But there were signs, I'm telling you. Bad signs, which become very apparent when it's 2 o'clock in the morning and you now know all the lyrics to the show's theme song, "For the Love of Money.” Like Sam. There is a contestant named Sam, and he is terrible - he falls asleep in the middle of one challenge - and for two straight episodes everyone who works with him tells Trump that he is terrible and needs to be fired. But Sam talks a good suck-uppy game and he looks the part, so Trump keeps letting him stay, and anyway 21 years later Pete Hegseth is our defense secretary.

Thought this FDR quote was good.

Found it here.

Elon Musk is wearing a swastika arm band and grabbing the key out of the Treasury seal. Text is: “The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism - ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any…controlling private power." - FDR

End of the Episcopal Diocese of Southern Ohio’s convention Eucharist. I’m feeling pretty hopeful about this crowd and being able to center God.
A woman bishop is at the altar while a deacon and priest are there assisting. Glorious mandala type art graces the backdrop.
